SDF Requires Air Defense Contracts

The Schultarian Defense Forces (SDF), are looking for reputable defense contractors to assist our nation in developing the following sector.

-Air Technology: At present, our national air defense force is pitiful. This is our most significant area that needs improvement, though we are open to mobile ground air / missile defense at a later date. We are looking for aircraft which can suit the following requirements.

+Must approximately relate with the technical levels of 2000 - 2050.
+These planes must possess a certain level of versatility. (Preferably a combination of Air Superiority and a Joint Strike Fighter/Bomber)
+They must be capable of either VTOL or short runway flight.

We will be willing to negotiate a contract, but our current offer is a 15 year, 200 Billion Dollar contract. We look forward to some very competitive offers.

The Commonwealth is currently expanding into this field and can offer a very competitive contract. The Harrier II may be what you want: it can fit into a multitude of roles, is agile enough to preform as fighter, and also has VTOL capabilities. It is currently serving in our navy and airforce as well as being offered for sale at our storefront. Stats are available upon request. There are also a few other aircraft I have aquired, contact by TG or storefront. Also, my 25% discount holds as always. :wink:

The USSNSR's national weapons design and production beauru, Lightning Stryke Industries (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2946135) has a few planes that might interest Schultaria Prime.
First would be the LSAI-12 Rain. A multirole aircraft capable of meeting the enemy through the assistance of detachable rockets.
Second is the LSAF-05 Duelist. Meant to perform air superiority missions, it has a number of features to help it perform its job. This includes 3d thrust vectoring, helmet mounted displays, and a highly powered set of engines.
Third is the LSAF-07 Horror. The second of LSI's air superiority fighters. An incredibly manuverable aircraft, this aircraft's cockpit is designed with ease in mind. The simple, small glass slab of the HUD is replaced, the canopy itself becoming the canvas for data. The uncountable number of dials and gauges has also been replaced with easy to read LCDs. To aid in performance, each engine has a dual air intake system, canards, and swing wings similar to that of the old Su-20 Fitter.
Last is the LSF-101 Gencor. With production rights originally purchased from Pheonixia, this aircraft has seen a small number of upgrades. It is a V/STOVL aircraft capable of filling roles both the roles of support and dogfighter.
If you're interested in any of these, let us know and we'd be willing to talk.

-We thank the nations of Granzi and Neo-Soviet Russia for their initial proposals. If anyone else wants to submit their plane designs feel free; the bidding is far from over.

(OOC: Sorry that this took so long, had a big Physics exam that had a big priority over the weekend)

The SDF has deliberated all of the options, and has come to its final conclusion.

For those interested, you may see the official results in the news section of Schultaria Prime's home site.

The Starblaydi Armaments Corp assumes you are purchasing 750 Nightwings, correct?

If you wish to purchase anti-missile and anti-ICBM defences in the near future, may we direct you to our latest storefront, which stocks the best in missile defence available anywhere in the world.

Will you be purchasing production rights or actual aircraft? If production rights, $75 Billion is a bit much.

Yes, how exactly shall we go about this contract? Though I do believe it will be done by production, I would like to confirm this before I begin the mass production if your aircraft.

To answer several questions regarding the contracts (as were proposed to me either in this thread or through TG's).

1. These contracts are for the actual aircraft, not production rights. Even though we are close to the population of the United States, we are by no means close enough in economic capacity to develop our own aircraft industry. Perhaps by the end of these contracts we will be in a better position to discuss manufacturing rights.

2. In response to several telegrams Schultaria Prime has recieved following our final announcement, I will revive bidding for new aircraft contracts in 2(RL) weeks. By this time, we'll be looking for offers for contracts of aircraft between the projected timelines of 2030 - 2100.

3. To set aside concerns about why the SDF chose these specific aircraft they enclose the following reasoning.

(Starblaydia):
These aircraft will form the core of the SDF Interceptor Squadron.

+High Stealth Characterists to avoid attacking fighter escorts.
+Great average speed for the concept.
+Range (Deciding Factor): Limited, but covers the full length of Schultaria Prime.
+Adaptability (Deciding Factor): No adaptability for ground strike missions, but the concept works beautifully for air to air.

(Neo-Soviet Russia):
These aircraft, being the most adaptive of the three, will form the SDF Joint Strike Squadron.

+Impressive speed for both fighter interception and quick target strikes.
+Adaptable "Data Canvas" cockpit for immediate and reliable information.
+Range (Deciding Factor): With over double the range of the YF-23S, it can stay aloft longer to cover more ground and protect more critical assets.
+Adaptability (Deciding Factor): This aircraft has all the machinery in place to serve as Schultaria's main combat aircraft.

(Granzi):
These aircraft will form the core of the SDF Bomber Squadron.

The SDF have recieved a few responses concerning the role of the Harrier II in modern to advanced military fields, but I hope this will set aside some doubts.

1. Our military is consigned to very specific space limitations, both on the physical and tactical level. The Harrier has proven itself as a venerable close quarters groundpounder in many practical real life scenarios. It's adaptability on both the theaters of land and sea combat are extremely impressive.

2. Given the physical limitations of our country, the command staff of the SDF have all but eliminated the concept of a high altitude, multi engine dedicated bomber. However, the Harrier's hardpoints configure easily to virtually every form of air to ground munition known today (ie. Laser Guided / Dumb Bombs, Hellfire Rocket Systems, High Yield Cluster Munitions, ect.) and provide it in a package that is faster and more evasive than a suitable helocopter system.
